Answer

The equations $ a,b$ and $d $ has $(-1,3,1)$ as a solution.

Work Step by Step

Substituting $x=-1$, $y=3$, $z= 1$ in a. $x+y+z = 3$ $-1+3+1=3$ $3 = 3$ b. $-x+y+z = 5$ $-(-1)+3+1= 5$ $1+3+1= 5$ $5=5$ c. $-x+y+2z=0$ $-(-1)+3+2(1)=0$ $1+3+2 =0$ $6 \ne 0$ d. $x+2y-3z =2$ $-1+2(3)-3(1)= 2$ $-1+6-3 = 2$ $2 = 2 $ Ordered triple $(-1,3,1)$ makes the equations $ a,b$ and $d $ a true statement. So, the equations $ a,b$ and $d $ has $(-1,3,1)$ as a solution.
